  • The Meaning Of Khilafat Ala Minahj Al-Nabuwa

    Posted by Chowdhury Naqib on July 12, 2025 at 9:41 pm

    What is the meaning of Khilafat ‘Ala Minahzi al-Nabua in Hadith? I heard or read Ghamidi sahab saying Umr ibn abd al aziz was what the prediction meant in the Hadith. But what does it truly represent? Proponents of political islam often use this as something in their favor. Does it mean principle of “Amruhum Shura Bainahum” only since it mentions about the kingship (mulukiyat)? Or it means the other things which Ghamidi sahab considers as part of commandments given by God regarding state (which is as far as my knowledge goes even the mulukiyat also kept intact—if so how does the distinction get created?)?

    As far as I know Umr Ibn al Abdal Aziz did not come from Shuraa. In that case how is that considered Khilafat ‘Ala Minahzi al-Nabua since that is a Hukm for Muslim Rulers by Islam?

      Umar bin Abdul Aziz is called Khalifa-e-Rashid because of his character, management of the state affairs, his approach towards Justice. A good king can be a great ruler if he follows in the footsteps of the examples set by the Prophet (sws) in management of the state affairs and hence can be called a khalifa-e-Rashid by people. It is not a religious rank and does not mean that because someone is called a khalifa, he is also selected via Shura.

      Islam clearly expects ‘Shuraiyat’ from Muslims in selection of their rulers.
